Editing Getting Started (section)

== Your First Steps ==
When you start out, your first goal is to get familiar with [[Valen Gate]], the starter town. It's your main hub for learning the game, buying basic gear, and healing up at the Healing Crystal in the town center.

# '''Learn your controls and UI''' — check your inventory, character menu, and the chat window (bottom left) so you can follow messages from other players.
# '''Get basic gear''' — you should start with a [[Copper Sword]] equipped; if you don't have one, pick one up at the Sword Stall in [[Valen Gate]].
# '''Start training''' — begin fighting in beginner areas like [[Broken Village]] and [[Farmlands]], which are built for safe early leveling.
# '''Gather resources''' — start collecting [[Copper Ore]], [[Tin Ore]], fish, and other early materials; you'll need them for crafting.
# '''Upgrade gradually''' — as you level up, improve your gear at crafting stations like the Anvil, or buy better equipment in town.
# '''Explore carefully''' — once you're comfortable, push out toward [[Forest Alcove]] and eventually the route to [[Grave Town]]. Avoid high-risk zones before you're ready for them.
